Universal Citation: 22 TX Admin Code ยง 100.20

Current through Reg. 49, No. 12; March 22, 2024

(a) The board shall render the final decision in a contested case and has the responsibility to assess sanctions against licensees who are found to have violated the Act.

(b) The board welcomes recommendations of administrative law judges as to the sanctions to be imposed, but the board is not bound by such recommendations.

(c) Sanctions should be consistent with sanctions imposed in similar cases and should reflect the board's determination of the seriousness of the violation and the sanction required to deter future violations. A determination of the appropriate sanction is reserved to the board. The appropriate sanction is not a proper finding of fact or conclusion of law.

(d) This section shall be construed and applied so as to preserve board member discretion in the imposition of sanctions and remedial measures pursuant to the Act's provisions related to methods of discipline and administrative penalties. This chapter shall be further construed and applied so as to be consistent with the Act, and shall be limited to the extent as otherwise proscribed by statute and board rule.
